【重要里程碑】考泰斯德事隆斩获首个电动汽车电池底护板订单

上海，中国（2月6日， 2023年）考泰斯德事隆公司（考泰斯），德事隆（纽约证券交易所：TXT）旗下子公司，宣布其荣获来自汽车主机厂首个热塑性复合材料车身底部电池保护板订单。该产品是考泰斯公司新的Pentatonic电池系统产品线的一部分，支持电池电动汽车的生产。 Pentatonic是一种轻量化、可定制的解决方案，由热塑性塑料或复合金属混合制成。该创新车底保护板设计将用于公路和越野应用，可以满足行业领先的冲击要求，与钢结构相比，其重量可减轻50%以上。Pentatonic的材料组成和生产工艺也提供了固有的耐腐蚀性，设计灵活性，改进的适用性以及整体价值高于其他替代品。

“在过去88年的发展历程中，考泰斯拥有创新和市场首创的历史，” 考泰斯德事隆总裁兼首席执行官Jörg Rautenstrauch表示。“很高兴我们的Pentatonic技术受该创新型客户青睐并为其提供支持，我们期待在未来的设计和开发工作中提供完整的热塑性复合材料电池箱体。”

“研究、开发和测试证明我们的系统比钢和铝结构性能更好，不但减轻了重量和降低二氧化碳排放，还简化了生产过程。” Pentatonic 产品开发总监Felix Haas先生表示。“我们的客户了解我们提供的系统级优势，我们致力于引领行业向复合材料结构过渡，以满足他们的需求。”

Pentatonic 电池箱体近期斩获由国际塑料协会 SPE 颁发的技术赋能奖 (Enabler Technology Award)，同时在中国喜提铃轩创新大奖。除此之外，去年秋季，Pentatonic电池系统最近根据国际公认的标准进行了严格的测试，包括中国的GB 38031标准和欧洲经济委员会的ECE R100。该电池系统成功地满足了包括机械冲击、挤压、跌落、振动和底部球击等众多测试的要求。 About Kautex Textron GmbH & Co. KG
